Conduct detrimental to the league is a pretty broad rule open to interpretation by the commissioner who has the authority to make final decisions and enforce them. I’m no expert but I’m sure similar authorities are granted to teams with respect to their player’s under contract. I don’t know how you can watch Ja’s conduct and defend it, but it doesn’t matter because the league has built in who gets the authority and gets to make that call anyway.

I’m glad I sold his cards in 2022.

I won’t be buying his cards again.
Selling all cards of a 2019 player in 2020 sounds like something a flipper would do

Did you see what he did in March?

Until Jalen Brunson sells for more than half of Ja we can call this a nonstory.

That’s true. When your commissioner is spineless, you’re going to have a league full of people like Ja.

On this episode of When Keepin it real goes wrong! I will be disappointed if Dave Chapell doesn't do this in his next stand up special.

The NBA offices and its owners are afraid of the players. But then again, they allowed the players to take over the business of basketball. You get what you ask for.

It's hard. You have to be careful with the way the media talks about race now. IE no one cared about Montrezl Harrell calling Luka Doncic a derogatory name. Meanwhile Meyers Leonard gets suspended and nearly out of the league.

Ja didn't commit a crime, but you cannot do that and be one of the faces of the NBA. Imagine a VP of a fortune 500 company doing this?

That is exactly right. It's only going to get worse.

probably done for next season. Grizzlies will tank and get a top 5 pick the following year.

Same way in baseball Yuli Gurriel said it about Yu Darvish and it vanished as fast as he said it.

I'm a 2A supporter.. but how anyone on "social media" is defending this guy given his upbringing and how much he makes vs the "average" guy is beyond me..

Let alone having a young daughter that "looks" up to him

Sad to see someone who has it all yearn to be a part of the dark side of hood culture, for a total lack of better terms.

All signs point to this dude having had a good life provided by parents, wish we all hope for for everyone….but he is dead set on going in reverse. I can’t imagine all the money and power at any age let alone as a young 20 something. You hope for Ja and the game of basketball, that he becomes a matured adult who lives his life how he wants, but also takes total control of the responsibilities he now has because of who he is.

Remember Sir Charles “I’m not a role model”….well that had different meaning bc Chuck was a scary tough guy who lived pretty wild himself. But not like this involving guns, when guns kill so many in this country. Not to mention those were the early days of mega marketing for the NBA. The stretch and reach of the stars today hits so many kids across the globe, Ja just has to do better and never do anything like this again.

Actually, all signs point to the exact opposite.

The players' union would never go for that and Silver doesn't have the balls.

I am so glad I sold everything that was significant of him in 2022 around the all-star weekend. I have not looked back.

RIP to the Morant holders. You didn't pick up on the handful of events prior to today. Im guessing you won't take todays slap in the face either.

If he didn't get it yet, he isn't going to get it. He's an idiot. Chance to live an elite lifestyle and he chooses this instead? What a clown.
